However, he flung her away with one hand. "Don't mind me... Don't come to my room again tonight!"For the past two nights, she would come to his room with the pregnancy pillow in her arms. If she came to his room again tonight, he might..."What's come over you? Did you drink too much at the party? Or is something else the matter?" She instantly tugged on his arm, unwilling to let him leave without an explanation.Besides, it was his birthday today. She bought the cake with great difficulty and did not even have a bite with him yet!Bai Tingxin stiffened. When she approached him, his arm felt the tenderness of her body. Her scent and the concern in her eyes seemed to imperceptibly fascinate him, breaking down what was left of his sanity."Don't touch me..." he said with a gasp, his face getting paler.Even his handsome features were slightly distorted as he tried to control the urge in his body.However, the more he acted like this, the more worried she became. "What happened to
Fat teardrops rolled down her cheeks, chin, neck... and into her lips.The salty hot tears seemed to instantly wake Bai Tingxin up from his impulsiveness.His body instantly tensed as he panted to look up at her face full of tears. His hoarse voice was almost squeezed out of his mouth. "Don't... come near me again. At least... not tonight! Otherwise... I don't have the self-control not to touch you!"Once he finished, he seemed to push her away with all his might and went upstairs.Qin Lianyi stood in place in a daze. She looked at the figure that quickly disappeared from her sight. It took a while before she finally came to her senses.Her body was still trembling instinctively, and his last gaze on her was full of lust as well as... restraint.It was as if he was trying so hard not to touch her and hurt her!'What happened to Tingxin? Why is this happening?' Qin Lianyi had a vague idea in her heart.Then, with one hand on her torn dress, she hurried up the stairs to his bedro
He saw Qin Lianyi sleeping at his door, clutching her pregnancy pillow. She had a blanket under her and another one over her. However, the sound of him opening the door startled her. She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at him.The way she rubbed her eyes reminded him of a cat cleaning its face, and there was something indescribably cute about it.Then, he heard her exclaim, "Tingxin, are you okay now?”As she spoke, she got to her feet and ran her hands over him. She even stood on tiptoes to feel the temperature of his forehead."I'm okay," said Bai Tingxin.Qin Lianyi found that the temperature of his forehead was indeed normal. The temperature of his body was no longer as hot as yesterday, and she let out a sigh of relief."Yesterday... Uh, did someone drug you?" Qin Lianyi asked in a whisper.Bai Tingxin narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared at Qin Lianyi.She blushed and said quickly, "I... It’s just a guess. The way you looked yesterday... It looked like you were drugg
"Don't remove them," he said as he took out a lighter and lit the digit candles that had been inserted into the cake the night before.The candlelight flickered as Qin Lianyi looked blankly at Bai Tingxin and asked, "Aren't... you going to make a wish?"Then, she suddenly found it redundant once the words were out of her mouth. 'It's already past his birthday. What wish can he make?'"Do wishes come true?" He fixed his eyes on her."Who knows?" she asked. 'Though... it's past his birthday.'His eyes fell on the cake. Every year for the past five years, all he had ever wished on his birthday was that he could be with her one day.'Does this mean my wish has come true? How much better would it have been if she never wanted a clean break with me and tried to get rid of the baby?'"Qin Lianyi, do you think my wish will come true?" He croaked.She froze for a moment before saying, "I... hope it'll come true."He slowly closed his eyes as if he was making a wish in his head. Qin Lia
Then she laughed at herself for overthinking. It was unknown whether he would forgive her, let alone be madly in love with her."I... I'm not walking away. I'm only leaving because you won't forgive me. After all, we have a one-month deal," Qin Lianyi explained meekly.For some reason, she felt guilty under his glare."We did agree on a month, but are you going to give up in a month? Can't you just keep trying? Or am I not worth it?" Bai Tingxin roared in one breath.When he heard that she would find another man and form a new family, he was unspeakably annoyed. He could not imagine how he would feel when she built a family with another man and called another man her husband, while his child would call another man their father!Qin Lianyi was dumbfounded. 'Does he want... me to keep on pestering him?'"I don't... know what you mean. Could you be a little more specific?" muttered Qin Lianyi.Bai Tingxin took a deep breath and glared at Qin Lianyi. "Qin Lianyi, just keep pestering
Qi Yueyun was on the phone with the mother of the Tang family's heiress, explaining last night's accident."Don't worry. Since it didn’t work this time, there's always another chance. I hope your daughter will be my daughter-in-law. Yesterday was just a small accident..."Before she could finish, she heard the butler's voice. "Young... Young Master, why did you bring so many people here? Did... Did something happen?"Then, Bai Tingxin's cold voice sounded. "Get lost!"Qi Yueyun looked up and saw her son walking in with a group of his men. Her expression changed slightly, and she said to Mrs. Tang on the other end of the line, "Excuse me, Mrs. Tang. I have something to attend to. I'll talk to you later."After ending the call, Qi Yueyun looked at her son and said, "Tingxin, what are your intentions for coming here with such a large group of people?"Bai Tingxin walked to the couch and sat down. He said to the men behind him, "Wait outside.""Yes." The men filed out. Now, only Bai
Qi Yueyun was so angry that she trembled all over. Reaching out her hand in anger, she pointed at his face. "Have... Have you forgotten who gave birth to you and raised you? Where would you be without me? Are you going to treat your own mother like this because you've grown up now?""I've always known that I was just a pawn to you. Even though I was a pawn back then, it doesn't mean I'm still your pawn. But you still think of me as a pawn, so I have no choice but to do this.""What... What do you mean..." Guilt flashed across Qi Yueyun's eyes."What do I mean? I thought you knew it perfectly well when I came in, or should I make myself clearer?" Bai Tingxin snorted coldly. "I never expected my own mother to drug me. It seems you still think of me as the same child you used to push around."Qi Yueyun said, "I'm doing this for your own good. What's wrong with the Tang family? Once the Bai family marries the Tang family, the Bai family will be L City's top richest family. What does Qi
She asked tentatively, "Well... Do you still love me? But you're just too embarrassed to forgive me so easily, so... you hope I’ll continue pestering you a month later?"Bai Tingxin glared at Qin Lianyi. 'Does she have to talk about these things so frankly?'Although... he was doing exactly what she said."Is it true?" She demanded to know.He turned his back, only thinking that he would lose his restraint if she continued looking at him."Is it true or not?" She quickly walked around and continued to stare at his face, her hands pulling restlessly at one of his arms. "I didn't misunderstand, did I?"He glared at her. The woman had always been able to drive him into a corner!"... Yes!" He said gruffly and went straight back to his desk to look at the documents piled on it.Qin Lianyi's face was full of joy. 'He admitted it! It's really as I thought. He still has feelings for me, but I just hurt him too deeply before.'Qin Lianyi then approached Bai Tingxin's desk. "Tingxin, w
